fake keyboard button pressed

[net234]

i was wondering if it is possible to make the computer think a keyboard button was pressed though is wasn't?

for example: the java program runs in the background and create these fake keyboard button events. let's say i'm currently viewing the internet explorer and it thinks the buttons were pressed and acts accordingly.

For what purpose do you need this?

I think you can use the java.awt.Robot class. Let see this example:

import java.awt.Robot;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.io.*;

public class Sample {
	public static void main(String [] args) throws Exception
	{
		Robot robot = new Robot();
		System.out.println("Hello World");
		System.out.println("Enter a string...");
		String s;
		BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
		s = br.readLine();
		robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_H);
		robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_E);
		robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_L);
		robot.delay(50);
		robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_L);
		robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_O);
		robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
		System.out.println(s);
	}
}
